- R-K
- leapfrog
- report error (on energy or orbital position)
- tune error tolerance for stability vs. speed
TBD
- $ M_1 \ne M_2 $
- $ e > 0 $
- $ e = 1 $ (parabolic encounter)
- 1-2 particles
- rings of massless test particles
- rings can rotate with or against direction of galactic motion
- varying
$R_0$ , starting distance - comparing stability during parabolic, eccentric orbits
- varying number, distribution of test particles
- unequal-mass galaxies
- conter-rotating stellar disk
- decaying orbits?
